Description
This turn-of-the-century guide to Professional Baseball is a time machine that takes readers back to the days of the sport as it was becoming America’s favorite national pastime. Edited by Timothy Hayes Murnane and produced by the Spalding sports equipment company, it deals primarily with the minor leagues of the time. Although he was a professional player for several seasons, Murnane's real impact on the sport came after his career as a player and during his time as a writer. For thirty years, he served as the Boston Globe’s main sports writer, and in 1946 he was recognized by the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Honor Roll for non-playing contribution. He is one of only twelve writers to achieve such an honor. In the valuable pages of this work, readers are introduced to dozens of baseball players, managers and owners, as well as the rules and statistics of the previous year.
